Abstract:
Objective To investigate the indications and results of long channel technique with pedicle inner preputial flap urethroplasty for middle hypospadias repair. Methods During September 2007 to April 2010,28 cases of middle hypospadias were include in this study.The average age was 2.0 years (1.5 -6.0 years).The orifice of urethra was opened in the shaft of penis,and the distance between the urethral meatus and the center of glans was 25 mm ( 16 - 37 mm).A pars-meatus skin incision was made,which was dissected deep to the urethral plate.The urethral plate was transected,and a long channel between the urethral plate and the corpora cavernosa was created.The neourethra was made from the inner prepuce,and transposed to the ventral tunnel through a tunnel between buck's fascia and albuginea of ventrolateral corpora cavernosa.The neourethra was anastomosed with the proximal urethra.The buck's and dartos fascia along the skin incision were brought together and sutured individually,covering the proximal neo-urethra and the anastomosis.Induced penile erection confirmed that 13 cases were with mild penile curvature,and the other 15 case were without penile curvature.The average length of the defected urethra and tunnel was 38 mm (30 -42 mm) and 33 mm (26 -38 mm). ResultsSuccess was achieved in all cases without fistula or urethral stricture formation with the average follow-up of 20 months (6 -31 months),and penile curvature was completely corrected.The urethra was opened in the apex of the glans with normal-looking circumcised penis. ConclusionsLong channel technique with pedicle inner preputial flap urethroplasty can provide another option for repairing middle hypospadias without penile curvature or with mild penile curvature,especially for young children and those with small penis.This technique is simple,and the result is satisfied.
